The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent-and making part of the same.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOSEPH R. BAILEY, of Woonsocket, in the county ot' Providence, and in the State of Rhode Island,have invented 'a new and useful Improved Tool-Holder; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- I Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holder, and tool arranged therein.

Figure 2 isan edge view of'a tool.

Figure 3 is a rear elevation of the holder and tool.

Figure Ltis a transverse section, on line x a: of fig. 3.

The same letters are used in all the figures to designate identical parts. I i

My invention consists in the construction of a toolliolder, and its 'combination with a tool, as hereinafter more fully set forth..

To enable' those `skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will'proceed to describe its construction and operation.

A, in the drawings, represents a suitable tool, which may he, preferably, a bar of tempered steel, of uniform size throughout its entire length, about one-fourth of' an Ainch in thickness, and suitably grooved at each end `to form cutting-points, and make it adaptable for right or left-hand work by turning it end for end.

This tool is tobe confined in a holder, B, which sufficiently to receive the clipvC; and upon its reark side, transverse grooves, b', are formed, to admit the gib and key, by which the clip is made to draw the tool and holder together tightll C represents the clip, the jaws of which t snugly in the notches b b `of the bar B.

Suitable apertures are formed in its jaws, for the rev cept-ion ot' the gib c and key c', by means of which it is made to confine the tool, as clearly shown in tig. 4.

The design is to useV the clip for confining whichever endot the tool is to be used.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-- ters Patent, is`- A tool-holder, consisting of the bar B, for receiving the tool, and the clip C, with gib and key, for conning the same, substantially as shown and described.

Ihe above specification signed by me, this 1st day of November, 1869.
